Rémy Latour Cigar is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1996. Cigar opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Pear, and Plum, settles into a heart of Marigold, Jasmine, Geranium, and Bay Leaf, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Rémy Latour's Cigar carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This legendary value frag smells far more expensive than it is. A classic fruity tobacco, Cigar polarises with its initial blast, but dries down to a rich, comforting aroma that captures hearts, though its performance can be a bit hit or miss on different skin chemistries.

About

Cigar opens with a juicy, sweet burst of pineapple, plum, and pear, brightened by bergamot and lemon. This initial fruitiness quickly gives way to the heart of the fragrance, where aromatic bay leaf, jasmine, marigold, and geranium intertwine with the unmistakable, rich scent of tobacco. As it settles, a warm, woody base of sandalwood, cedar, and earthy patchouli emerges, softened by musk, creating a smooth, long-lasting dry down that evokes the comforting aroma of an unsmoked cigar.
